Pittsburgh announced moments ago the last round of cuts before their season starts Thursday night in Vancouver. This from the team's release:

Forward Jason Williams and defensemen Alexandre Picard and Brian Strait were re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL). Defenseman Joseph Morrow was returned to his junior team, the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL).

Jason Williams and Alexandre Picard will have to clear waivers before coming to the WBS Penguins.
